Hello all, FJ62 starts cold perfectly, and I can hear the relays and fuel pump working. After driving it for more than half hour and then stopping for 30-40 minutes (run into store, etc.) it then doesn't start unless you let it sit for another 30-40 minutes. I've checked the items mentioned on...
Planning to remove my A/C system (no charge) and replace the seals/bearings/etc. and get a new condenser. Can't find a good thread on the end to end process - anyone have a link? I don't want to tackle removing the in-dash parts yet - what are the thread sizes for the pressure lines into the...
How do I remove the nut holding on the Neutral Safety Switch - don't want to bugger anything up, and haven't removed a bolt with this setup before.

Thanks!
Understand the best place to put a jack stand is on the leaf spring plate with the four bolts, but where is the best place to put the bottle jack while jacking it up - manual looks like it says the axel, but read that can bend it?
Thanks in advance!
Hello all,
Dropped the front drive shaft, replaced the yoke joints, all is good, even found the Craftsman 1/2" torque wrench 2/3's off!
Now, what is the trick to get the bolts tightened to 65ft/lbs without it rotating while tightening?!
Thanks in advance!
Hello all,
Replacing the ujoint spiders on my '89 FJ62 front drive shaft, and have two questions:

Hello all,
Quick questions on locking hubs:
1. I noticed the hubs were beaten to get the cone washers off (?) - assuming it's just not pretty, but won't affect the hubs?

Hello all,
Master cylinder is dying on FJ62 1989 288,XXX miles - I've read about the 199X 4Runner master cylinder swap but can't seem to find where to buy rebuilt/new, or find a rebuild kit. Easy to find lots of crap non-OEM aftermarket replacements. Toyota Dealer want $$$ for it. Can someone...
Hello all,
Question before I disassemble the wiper box in my FJ62 - the passenger side wiper axle seems to be broken/loose. Is this something that will be fixed with a new wiper linkage arm, or do I need additional parts? Video of the axle while wiper while wiper motor is running (you'll notice...
Hello all,
Noticed a whiff of coolant when I turned the heat on center console - found a leak. Going to just remove it since I'm in the NW and rarely need it.
The Repair Manual map helps a little, but I'm confused by the junction #5 I've labeled on the photo linked below, and want to double...
Hello all,
Not sure my ISC is working correctly - 1989 JF62 3FE with 278,XXX. Have followed the FI-71&72 steps in the Toyota Repair Manual. The resistance for all the terminals is within spec (19.9). I can feel the valve move when I ground each contact (S1,2,3,4) with battery voltage applied...
Inspired by Cruiserbrett's rebuild thread https://forum.ih8mud.com/60-series-wagons/353899-fj62-power-steering-pump-rebuild.html, I've started to photograph the tear down of an FJ62 power steering pump - first rebuild of any kind I've done. I'll add to it as I put it back together. I've skipped...
Hello all,
Can anyone point me to a good resource for how to organize battery terminal wiring - I'm learning as I'm going - the wiring to my positive cable is messy and I want to get it organized.
Thanks,

Hey all, have replaced all the rusty bolts on the back gate/window of my FJ62 - any suggestions on the best way to clean up the latches - they're a bit rusty.
Thanks!

Forgive me if this is the wrong place to ask - looking for low miles used A440 transmission in good shape in the Pacific Northwest - closer to Seattle the better.
The H55F will have to wait a bit longer :/
Thanks!
Scott
Hello all,
Based on the strings on this site, sounds like my A440 transmission is dying (1989 FJ62). The engine is fine for now (original 3FE).
Wanted to get people's thoughts on having an H55F transmission installed and keeping the 3FE engine for another few years, then installing a 5.3...
Replacing the battery cables on my FJ62 and have everything except the ground to the engine - I reached down and took a photo of it. Any suggestions on best way to access it? Looks like I'm going to have to remove the air filter, maybe a few other things? Thanks in advance!
